    When there is no good reason to drive to an office, or as you say "go into work" why should anyone? To float the values of your failing real estate investments? So businesses can pay your extortion high rent to building owners? I'll pass.

      There is still a good reason to go in the office. I learn so much from being in the office that one can't learn by sitting home alone isolate. I hear stuff, for example, that other business units are doing that our team can intersect with. I also build a stronger working relationship with the executive team.

    Companies that require return to office have been loosing top talent way more quickly than others who have seen employee turnover reduced. It is over, give up.
    Companies requiring you to be in office 5 days a week will become less & less competitive over time when compared to others.
    A lot of companies also really don't seem to understand that focus is key to productivity in the service industry, cramming workers on one big desk is stupid beyond beleif, especially for roles like devs: you were shooting yourselves in the foot with that one.

    The real problem is that the people who run everything have an 18-month, profit-driven future perspective. They are never ready for change and just want things to carry on the way they always have. Their second preference, after things have changed, is to return things to the way they were before.
    There is a HUGE potential market for converting entire dead office buildings into accommodation, which is in short supply everywhere. This is beginning to happen apace in Central London, England with apartments going on the market at £2 million (do your own currency conversion).

    The corporate real estate owners will keep crying but businesses aren’t listening.
    My company is counting down the days to drop our lease. Massively under utilized space.
    The tragedy in all this is investors are shifting from corporate to residential real estate and gaslighting people with “there’s not enough housing” across media channels.
    They are cornering desirable housing markets and manipulating prices of assets and rents to cover their corporate real estate loses.

    The problem with not coming back to the office don’t need to come to the office. Work from home was proven to be productive, saves on gas, car wear and tear, contributes to worker morale and work/life balance. It’s real estate and middle management that has to try to justify their position that were yelling for return to office. We’re short on housing in every income level from fixed income disabled, seniors, vets through to higher income earners. No need for all this high end luxury only, we need all income straight 30% of net income housing. Not HUD, not housing authorities.

      @reedriter2 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      unfortunately, he doesn't have the data on his side. There is no such thing as early detection. By the time these screening tests catch cancer, it's already too late, if it's usually too late. A lot of the 'cancer' that is caught early is very slow growing cancers that would never have caused any issue. Also, if ou die 7 years after your cancer was caught early, as occurred with my mother, you are considered to have 'survived' cancer, as survival rate is measured in 5 years. All that changed with early detection is that you lived with anxiety a couple of more years, but your date of death did not necessarily change.

    The Federal government has to refinance twelve trillion dollars of debt in 2025, and twelve trillion in 2026. The Fed will erred on keeping interest rates high enough to slow the economy to where three percent Treasury bonds look good. The Fed’s main concern is moving all the short term Federal Debt to longer duration. A recession would reduce inflation to some degree, and many people would move into Treasury securities especially if the ten year is at three percent and the two year was negative.
